Main Global Media Japan furious as Chinese, Russian ships enter waters close to Senkaku islands
Japan's Vice Foreign Minister Akitaka Saiki summoned the Chinese ambassador in Tokyo at around 2 a.m. (1700 GMT Wednesday) to "express a serious concern", the government said in a statement.
The Russian vessels were spotted around the same time a Chinese vessel entered the zone, the Kyodo news agency reported.
Japan administers the uninhabited isles under that name while China also claims them and calls them the Diaoyu islands.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga also criticized Beijing for escalating regional tensions. Meanwhile, the US said Chinese fighter planes unsafely intercepted a reconnaissance flight in worldwide airspace over the East China Sea, CNN reported. In the latest incident, however, maritime security operations were not ordered because the Chinese Navy vessel did not enter territorial waters.
The renewed tensions in the East China Sea, meanwhile, come after Japan used its role as host of the G7 meetings to criticize China and express opposition to any "intimidating, coercive or provocative" actions in both the East and South China seas, drawing an angry reaction from Beijing.
Gen Nakatani, Japan's defense minister, said Thursday he believes there "is a possibility that China aimed to show an uncompromising stance to its people and foreign countries based on its own assertion on territorial rights".
This was the first time a Chinese frigate entered the contiguous zone, he said.
The United States is strongly interested in China's intentions behind the entry of a Chinese Navy vessel into Japan's contiguous zone around the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. The US has sent warships past the reefs as a way to demonstrate that it does not recognize Chinese sovereignty.
Moreover, last week, Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida lodged protest with the Chinese embassy over China's continued construction of gas drilling rigs in the East China Sea despite the lack of finalization of 2008 bilateral agreement on the demarcation of a maritime boundary.

Fayetteville Public Utilities' (FPU) electric customers will see higher December bills as a result of the increases in the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) winter season energy rate and the total monthly fuel cost. For the average residential electric bill of 1,330 kilowatts (kWh), the total increase is $4.11.
In November, the average residential electric bill for 1,330 kWh was $144.24. In December, the same electric use will cost $148.35.
"December marks the beginning of TVA's scheduled winter-months rate, and the rate is in effect through the end of March," says FPU's CEO and General Manager Britt Dye. "The total monthly fuel cost amount changes each month. December's fuel cost amount is about fifteen percent higher than TVA's three-year average for the month, largely due to increased energy sales and lower-than-expected hydro generation."
TVA implemented its seasonal rate structure in April 2011. The seasonal rates directly reflect the higher costs of producing electricity during those months when there is a greater demand for energy from consumers. The seasonal rate structure allows TVA to bill higher or lower costs of power production to consumers as the energy is used.
For a complete listing of FPU's electric rates, click on the rates section to the left of this page. To help consumers with their energy costs, FPU offers a budget billing plan to average monthly electric and natural gas bills. Please call FPU's Customer Service Department at 931-433-1522 for more information about budget billing.

Mace Energy Method
Mace Energy Method mission statement is:
The entrance point to a person achieving control of their life is to handle lifes upsets. There is not a person in the whole world who has not had an upset. The actual Mace Energy Method process is a series of simple mental excercises that are very easy to do, guided by counsellor. A major discovery of the Mace Energy Method is that, it is not what has happened to you in the past (upsets) that is important. It is ONLY the effects these things have left on you in the form of negative feelings, emotions and attitudes,that need to be deleted,for you to be in control.
Mace Energy Method
A departure from conventional counselling
Imagine a new simple technique with no self disclosure. Mace Energy Method breaks entirely new ground in that it introduces an effective method that is totally devoid of self disclosure. Relating life's experiences is of no therapeutic value whatsoever. A bold claim certainly, considering the widespread and almost universal acceptance of self disclosure as an essential part of counseling, but the claim is made with no hesitation. A major development of the Mace Energy Method has been a realization that has simplified the procedure in eliminating negative emotions. Our feelings control our lives! They control our attitudes, how we think, our decisions, what we say or don't say and what we do or don't do. MEM™ frees clients from all unwanted negative feelings, no matter what they are , without talking about the actual details . "You cannot change what has happened in the past, but you can sure change how it affects your life now." With the advent of MEM™, gone are the days when clients were required to relate and relive the agony and embarrassment of extreme traumatic experiences such as sexual assault. This is why many victims of such experiences decline counseling…the counseling is as traumatic as the initial experience (see Abuse/Victims).
International recognition of Mace Energy Method
An American research psychiatrist Robert Roerich M.D. wrote after adopting the MACE ENERGY METHOD – "Australian researcher John Mace's MACE ENERGY METHOD advances the effective treatment of emotional problems and heralds a breakthrough of such unparalleled importance, to be worthy of a NOBEL PRIZE".

Hazelwood Team EBOB Coach: Carol Clarke and Stephanie Mehaffey
Important Information:
NC Battle of the Books Website
2017-2018 Team Requirements:
We have already started practicing with this year's Battle of the Books Team and it looks to be a strong team already. A schedule has been given out already to the team. FYI: We will meet on Wednesdays every other week until December. We will meet every week starting in January.
Because we are only allowed to take 12 students to the competition, it is important we determine who those 12 students will be early on in our school year. The following parameters and requirements have been put into place because of the large number of students who have applied to be a part of our EBOB team.
- No meeting absences will be allowed (unless approved by Mrs. Clarke or Mrs. Mehaffey or if the student is absent or checked out from school on our meeting day). If a student has an unexcused absence, they will not be allowed to continue on our team.
- By December 31st, all students must have read 9 of the 15 books. At the beginning of January, we will determine which 12 students (along with 1-2 alternates) will be on our team going to the EBOB competition in March.
- All students must read all 15 books by the beginning of March.

Installation of Bishop William T. McGrattan
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary is honoured to welcome the Most Reverend Bishop William T. McGrattan as our eighth Bishop.
Bishop McGrattan was born in London, Ontario. His Excellency received his undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Western Ontario, followed by a Master of Divinity from St. Peter's Seminary in London. Bishop McGrattan was ordained to the priesthood on May 2, 1987, with the Diocese of London. Following three years of service with St. Joseph's Parish in Chatham, Bishop McGrattan continued his studies in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, where he received a Licentiate in Fundamental Moral Theology in 1992. Bishop McGrattan served on the faculty of St. Peter's Seminary in London as an associate professor, vice-rector, and dean of theology and was appointed as rector of the Seminary in 1997. He was ordained to the episcopate as Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto in 2009.
The Diocese is very much looking forward to celebrating Bishop McGrattan's Installation Mass on Monday, February 27, 2017 at St. Mary's Cathedral at 7:30 pm.
Special guests, including the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, have been invited to celebrate this special Mass alongside our own Diocesan Priests, Deacons, other Religious and members of the laity. We expect more than 1,000 people to be in attendance at this special occasion in our Diocese. We will also have a live stream over the internet through our Diocesan Website at www.calgarydiocese.ca. Please contact your parish as many are organizing viewing parties for the evening of February 27.
This is a ticketed event. Three hundred tickets were made available on the morning of February 7. The tickets were reserved in 30 minutes. The Diocese is carefully monitoring numbers to see if more tickets can be made available. The link below will be re-activated at that time.
Questions can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Four players of the Louisiana-Lafayette football team were suspended by their coach for participating in a video denigrating president-elect Donald J. Trump.
Singing the words "F**k Donald Trump," to the tune of a rap song by YG and Nipsey Hussle, the four demonstrated behavior unacceptable to head coach Mark Hudspeth.
"I am obviously disappointed in a few of our players' immature behaviors that they demonstrated in the locker room," said the 48-year-old coach who has led the way for the Ragin' Cajuns since 2010. "We do not condone that type of behavior. It is not an example of our entire team. It does not represent our entire team."
The video first came to light on Thursday, two days after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential election. Ironically, despite their supposed outrage, Hudspeth indicated that some of the players didn't even take the time to vote. They "did not have a dog in the hunt," he remarked.
ULL's official statement from athletic director Scott Farmer reads:
Recently, a video showing a small group of student-athletes acting inappropriately was recorded and shared on social media. This video in no way represents the views and values of the Ragin' Cajuns Football program, the Athletics Department or the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Like many of you, we are disappointed in the actions of these student-athletes. Coach Hudspeth recognized the severity of the situation and does not condone their behavior. He acted swiftly to discipline those involved and continues to educate the team on how their actions are a reflection of the name on the front of their jerseys.
Alumni and fans inundated the the University's Facebook page with negative feedback for the way Hudspeth and the University handled the disgraceful incident. "An already dwindling fan base just got thinner," Marty DeRoussel reacted. "What a shame for our University and community. While I agree that no one should attack these kids for poor judgement (we've all made stupid choices) I am appalled at Coach Hud's response where he puts partial blames on one political party's supporters. Just a terrible statement to convey."
Another wrote, "Sorry Coach… Your response was not deplorable enough. My household will no longer support UL Football."
According to Sports Illustrated, it is unknown who released the video.

Show Up to HIS Job
I'm not sure where these men get the nerve to act up from but it's never a bad time to pop up at his place of employment. There are certain rules that should be followed and boundaries to adhere to but pop ups are not included.
What do you have to hide? There's no reason for you to call me from the bathroom to talk about it. I can politely ask Rosa at reception to have you paged to the front desk. Play with it.
I have no problem sitting on the hood of your car at the end of your shift. You want to talk? Cool, we all want to hear what you have to say. Me and all of your work girlfriends.
Have you ever opened up your lunch bag and found the boxer briefs that you left on the bathroom floor in it? Would you like to? You really don't want to go down this road, babe.
Should I show up wearing your favorite apron and tell you that we're having "carry in" then drop a bologna sandwich on the end breads, Tropical Fantasy juice and walk out?
Perhaps I should show up on your lunch break in workout gear since you claim that you like to go to the gym. We can both catch these gains. Or should I just set up the portable basketball goal in the employee break room since Ball Is Life.
Don't make me read your work internal messaging system messages at the dinner table when you're trying to enjoy your steak. Please explain to me why Cara and Renee are in your most recent contacts.
With all of those free electrical outlets available to you, there's no reason for your phone to be dead at work. Take this Mophie and get yourself together before I assist you.
Oh, there's a work happy hour event? Count me in. You're not getting saucy around these jezebels. We can be happy together for these few hours.
Why do you need to call Tiffany from claims every time you have a question? Are you not able to do your job independently? Let me know.
I don't need Rhonda from the mailroom confiding in you for all of her relationship issues and needs. I'm sure she has a cousin or a janitorial associate friend who can help her. You need to just mind your business.
I don't know why guys think that they're the only ones off of their rockers. We DO this. It's in a woman's DNA to act a strategic fool when it comes to stuff like this. How do you think we've flourished for so many years?
Never underestimate your girl's crazy. More times than not, she's really about that life. We make it look light but we heavy though! Tread lightly with the foolishness. Sometimes we have to turn up off of GP and we're totally okay with that. It's nothing against you but everything to do with how you move.
Don't get it twisted, I'm oh so sure within my shit but I like to keep honest people honest.
Don't push me. I'll show up and show out.
I won't hold y'all up all day but please recognize the severity of the situation. It IS possible. It WILL happen if need be.
You've been warned!

Researchers at Stockholm University in Sweden have found tiny amounts of surfactant-like compounds in the atmosphere. They believe the compounds come from ground bacteria and foster rain production.
Surfactants are amphiphilic (part water soluble, part water insoluble) compounds that reduce surface tension and allow mixing of disparate substances. Surfactants are used in detergents and ski wax and, of immediate relevance to us, our lungs. Pulmonary surfactant reduces surface tension in our lungs allowing effective ventilation. Surfactant deficiency is a big problem in premature babies.
Surfactants in clouds would help break up water molecules and encourage rain. The Stockholm researchers hypothesize that bacteria may have been selected for the ability to make it rain. Even if bacterial surfactants facilitate rainfall, it's not clear that we can assume evolutionary causation. Regardless, it's an intriguing notion - that bacteria may have long ago accomplished a long sought human ability (from rain dances to Olympic cloud seeding), to control the weather. And it's a great example of the universality of processes. The same stuff that helps us breathe may have allowed bacteria to make it rain.

EssaySnark's Strategies for the 2017-'18 MBA Application for UCLA Anderson
Anderson is a great school and this year's questions are much simpler than what they asked before: They've essentially broken their original essay into two chunks. They want to know your goals and why an MBA makes sense (specifically from Anderson) and they want to hear what you are interested in contributing if they admit you. All of this may sound familiar (Wharton, anyone?) and these questions are now quite straightforward, but they also require significant planning and a fair bit of reflection – and research – to understand what UCLA is really asking, so you can figure out how to present some evidence that you're a fit to their culture. You need a tight strategy and a well thought-out plan for a good pitch. Our UCLA Anderson MBA Guide helps you with sophisticated thinking to construct a multilayered strategy for these two critical essays.
This 2017 version has been overhauled dramatically to give you proper understanding of these questions along with the Anderson core principles and philosophy. It also includes a section of quick tips for the first FEMBA essay on being "unique". The focus throughout is on the full-time MBA, though, and you'll find helpful details on GMAT vs GRE, career paths, and important details for international applicants. We also touch on the optional essay and the reapplicant essay. A lot of discussion on technology, finance, and entrepreneurship goals is provided, since those are key areas that many BSers are interested in (and consulting, of course).
NOTE: If you're trying for FEMBA or their Executive options then this guide might still be useful but it's not got extensive discussion of those different programs (just to manage expectations).

But recently some people who are misusing Islam and trying to destroy the beautiful face of Islam .
I have see many Muslim/Islam hater on this website so please vote after reading the argument . Don't vote because you hate Islam .
Thank you very much
Your point is that Islam is the greatest religion on earth, but why? Proving Islam is
"The only best religion ever existed on earth" [sic] (from the title of the argument) is hard because what is the greatest on earth is 100% subjective to the individual or the group in question, in the realm of ideologies like religion for example when you break it down to its core; religion is an ideology. With out quoting the Koran or using personal stories, can you prove Islam is "the only best religion ever existed on earth"?
Now you can ask me why I have quoted , "Islam is the only best religion ever existed on earth."
Out of 4200 religions truly it is hard to say which is best .
For example ,
A class has 200 students how will I find out who is the most intelligent student ????
I have to examine the students
I have to examine them in various way .
Like ,
Sports, Intelligence, Education,Common sense , Health , activities etc .
Once a student will be able to pass all the examinations successfully with good performance . Finally we can declare him/her the most intelligent student of the class .
Though religion and human is not same but we can use the same theory on religion like I have used in order to find the good student
There are 4200 religions on earth it is hard to examine each of them
So we can take the majority religion on this earth .
Like ,
These 3 religions are the most followed religion worldwide .
Now you can ask me why I have taken only 3 what about the rest 4197 ???
The answer will be, this 3 religion still has biggest number of followers around the world .
According to Wikipedia this 3 religions has 4.9 billion followers
The earth has a population of 7.125 billion people . Only this 3 religions has 4.9 billion followers which means this 3 religions has almost 68% of world population .
So we can see because this 3 religion is more logical than other 4197 that's why people are following it .
So, Out of these 3 we can see "Islam is only logical religion"
If we see the world's biggest religious group Christianity their belief like, "Trinity" is so weird .
Like 1 1 1=1 though they say that , "What is problem a person can be a father and son at the same time"
Ya if it was true Jesus wouldn't say , "Eli Eli lama Sabachthani" (Mark 15:34)
Translation : , My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
So trinity is lame . There is also Christians who do not belief in trinity , So what ???? Bible's Numerous errors are enough to proof it wrong . Like Genesis 1:1-3 sun after earth ,
Sky created after water (Genesis 1:6-8) again There was evening and morning without a "Sky" (Genesis:1:5)
So that much error is enough to proof it wrong .
In Hinduism there are millions of God which is really lame . Though it is said that , "Hinduism" also promotes monotheism .
OK still there are dozens of problems in Hinduism like , Most Hindus belief none of their books are from God like Abrahamic religions do .Those books are written by scholars. So why would I follow a religion which has no authenticity .
And numerous fairy tales which seems to be so weird for me.
Now Why I call Islam best ,
Number 1 ,
Only 1 God and worship him , Love him and respect him
No trinity
No need of millions of Gods
No need of avatars of God
Just 1 God and worship him , Follow his commandments .
Number 2,
Islam gives the best definition of God
Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One,
Allah , the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent." (Quran 112:1-4)
Number 3,
We respect prophet by using "Peace Be Upon on Him" after his name. Which means respect them . While other Abrahamic religions like , Judaism or Christianity do not respect prophets like that .
Number 4 ,
It is a complete code of life . It will guide you for everything Marriage , Divorce , sex life , Economy , Business life , Education it guides you almost everything . You can say it is a life style .
Number 5 ,
It is a religion which practices democracy . Like in mosque we can see , that rich,poor every one stands on the same line . Even some times a beggar stands in front of rich no problem everyone is same in mosque .
Number 6 ,
No compulsion in religion everybody has the right to practice his religion
There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.(Quran 2:256)
Say, "O disbelievers,
I do not worship what you worship.
Nor are you worshippers of what I worship.
Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.
Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."(Quran 109:1-6)
As per as I know Bible or Torah do not say anything like this .
Number 7,
It supports Education ,
Recite in the name of your Lord who created
Created man from a clinging substance.
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -
Who taught by the pen -
Taught man that which he knew not.(Quran 96:1-5)
This verse are saying us to read.
Surah Al-Zumr, ayah 9 reveals: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?"
"Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge by degrees."[58:11]
"We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth."[41:53]
And dozens of hadiths on the importance of earning knowledge
Here you can read those hadiths : https://islamicmisconceptions.wordpress.com...
So what we can see is Islam not only supports/promotes male education but also women education .
Number 8 ,
Islam supports women empowerment
Islam supports women empowerment .
Like, "O Mankind, keep your duty to your Lord who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate (of same kind) and from them twain has spread a multitude of men and women...". [Noble Quran 4:1]
"He (God) it is who did create you from a single soul and therefrom did create his mate, that he might dwell with her (in love)..." [Noble Quran 7:189]
And Allah has given you mates of your own nature, and has given you from your mates, children and grandchildren, and has made provision of good things for you. Is it then in vanity that they believe and in the grace of God that they disbelieve?" [Noble Quran 16:72]
and more I do not have enough space to describe the women empowerment in Islam so I am giving you a link where you can find women in Islam : http://www.islamswomen.com...
Number 9 ,
Freedom of speech/ Freedom of blasphemy
It is a common misconception that in Islam blasphemy is death .In this modern earth freedom of speech/Blasphemy is a common practice what Islam says ,
Quran 28:54-56 , Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend.,And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not the ignorant."Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
So what we can see is blasphemy is not death in Islam it promotes freedom of speech . You can even read 6:68 of Quran which says , even if some one mocks Quran they will not get any punishment. Not like Bible where blasphemy is death leviticus 24:16 is example . But some quotes 5:33 but what 5:33 has said is who declares war against Allah should be crucified , Killed etc . But blasphemy and declaring war is not same . Even we can see our prophet . Numerous people blasphemed him did he kill all of them . Even he was one of the most powerful man of that time still he didn't kill them
You said , "With out quoting the Koran" I was really amazed Quran is one of the most essential part of Islam . How can even you say that
I also had numerous reasons but Since I am permitted to use only 8000 characters so, I am not able to give more .
I think this reasons are enough to proof Islam the best religion .
Thank You
You discount 4197 world religion and focus on 3, then bring up Judaism, so 4196 world religions. What if I am a follower of another world religion? You put down 3 Religions that I have nothing in common with and proved one thing: you have no argument. Proving you are the greatest does not involve showing why all the others suck, it is proving you are the best. How do you prove you are the best?
Actions speak louder than words.
You can proclaim the "glory of Islam" all you want. It means nothing to me, Quoting the Koran to prove Islam is the greatest religion on earth is like quoting the Lord of the Rings to prove its better than Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. You have to go out side of the Story and use what the followers of that religion have gone and done to help the world. Helping the poor, helping the sick, helping those in need,promoting education and equal rights for women and denouncing the radical extremists in their religion. Actions speak louder than words, I can write down all this great stuff I should do, then quote my lifestyle and say, "hey in my (insert religion here) it says you cant do (what ever the rest of the world sees wrong)" then go ahead and do those things anyway. Its hypocritical, it is do as I say not as I do. It doesn't matter what the Koran says when sadly, the most noticeable part of Islam is its link to terrorism, is doing the complete opposite of what you are saying. You also do a good job at selectively quoting the Koran, because every Sharia country uses the Koran to justify its awful treatment of women. 4 men to justify a rape, Really? Muhammad marrying a 6 year old, that makes Islam the greatest religion on earth?
Quran is one of the main pillar of Islam . If I reject it I am rejecting Islam .
Without Quran "ISLAM" is nothing but a word with 4 letters .
I would like to remind con the topic of the debate ,
"Islam is the only best religion ever existed on earth."
I didn't say the word "ISLAM" is the best word ever existed .
When I added the word "Religion" con should get that what I am talking about .
Islam is a religion . Not like he said , "Lord of rings", "Game of Thrones"etc.
It is the most weird thing I have ever heard in my life .
Islam is a religion and Quran is the one of the pillar of Islam . Without Quran proving Islam as best religion is like ,
Proving the authenticity of "5" Letters ya without Quran Islam is a 5 letter word and the topic of the debate was ,
"Islam is the only best religion ever existed on earth." If I said , "Islam is the best word ever existed" may be then I had to Proof it's authenticity without Quran . But I used the word "religion" How can con forget that ???
Go and ask any Christian why "Christianity" is best what will he say ???? It is best because the word , "C" "H" "R" "I" "S" "T" "I" "A" "N" "I" "T" "Y". Is that he will say??? I don't think that so . I am pretty sure even con knows that no christian will praise Christianity without "Bible" . Cause without Bible Christianity is a 12 letter word . Not like the way he said . I bet even a elementary student knows the difference between Novel and a religious book .
Another thing I didn't use any personal stories . I don't know where con found that ???
Now why I neglected rest 4197 religions . I had given the cause may be con didn't notice that .
The reason was this 3 religions have 68% followers around the world .
This 3 religions has more connection with human history , development of civilization , making a civilization super power or powerless country .
Like with the help of Islam Muslims and Arab were super power for 600 years . As per as I know only "Islam" is the religion which could develop a barbaric society that much . Arab was a barbaric place which later became superpower for 600 years . Conquered millions of kilometers . Like , Umayyad caliphate had ruled 15 millions square kilometers .which was a big part of earth . Abbasid took 10 million square kilometers. No religious empire was not that much big . Not only super power on that time Arabs produced dozens of ,Hundreds of scholars , scientists, Astronomers , Doctors, Biologists ,Mathematician . While other religions created dark age killed/Tortured scientists Like Europe . A religion which made a barbaric society as a super power , an intelligent nation and this "Islam" is not great ???? They didn't shed that much blood like hitler in order to set their empires. Because in Islam in war you have to give protection if your opposite team wants protection from you (Quran 9:6 )
By the way , there are doctors,scientists and many other educated people who follow Islam , Christianity or Hinduism . Almost 68% people of earth believe in this 3 religions . A big part of this followers are educated if rest 4197 religions were really logical wouldn't this people convert to those religions ???
Con said , "you said there are many misconceptions of Islam while using misconceptions of Christianity with the Trinity, Hinduism with polytheism, and Judaism with the Torah."
I don't know when I said that , there are misconceptions in Islam . May be you were trying to say there are many misconceptions in Islam something like that. We don't have any misconception. Just belief one God , Belief in his prophets , Love people , Earn knowledge, Believe Quran and have your life . We don't need 1 1 1=1 we don't even need millions of Gods or not even any God who will come on earth as an avatar . Just worship/belief in a God and his messages nothing else .
I didn't criticize Torah . I didn't know where you get that from. I only compared somethings of Islam which is absent in Torah or Bible .
Now you said , "Why only Quran see what is happening outside by it's follower"
First of all if the driver is bad and there is an accident will you blame driver or car ???
You said , "Helping the poor, helping the sick, helping those in need"
Helping poor is must for every rich Muslims.Every rich Muslims have to donate 2.5% from their wealth .
What Muslims are doing ?? Maybe you don't know Muslims are religious group who donates most charity . Even more than atheists .
You said , "promoting education"
Islam is a religion which promotes education deeply. It is a must for every single Muslims to be educated
Even Most Muslim countries have high literacy . Saudi 94.7% ,Iran 87%,UAE 94%, Turkey 95% even country like Syria has 86.4% of literacy and libya has 91%
https://en.wikipedia.org... almost every Muslim countries have high literacy except some like , Pakistan , Bangladesh , Sudan not because of Islam because of their own political problems .
You said , "equal rights for women"
Ya we believe in equity not equality . Cause male and female is not equal in all terms even you know that . And who are oppressing women check top 10 countries with rape . No Muslims , Top 5 countries with child molestation no Muslim countries. Now don't say Muslims rape but women are afraid to express because it is a mythology if it was all those rapes in western countries would have done by Muslims .
Now you said 4 persons to justify a rape or Prophets marriage with Aisha . LoL
another myth of 4 person witness . Rape and adultery is not same you will need 4 persons to justify adultery not rape . If you read sunan dawood 4366 Muhammad killed a person for raping after he confessed . And now we have gene test to proof a rape no problem still no 4 witness . If you read bukhari 9:83:16 a Jews tried to kill a Muslim girl. Prophet asked her 3 times after she confessed that person was punished by death . Only 3 times confession is enough by the girl .Marriage with Aisha . Oh man I am totally amazed.He didn't force or something like that. It was common on that time .Why that time only 200 years ago it was common.Even I am sure if you go 200 years back on your family background you will get this kinds of things .She never hated her marriage life she always loved it . She also had a deep love with prophet and Islam even after becoming adult she enjoyed her marriage and Islamic life.Today blasphemy is common what if anyone did it 500 years ago like Galileo did .Samely 1400 years ago child marriage was common . He was not pedophile if he really was he could marry more dozens of under aged girls(-9) since he was the supreme man of that time . But he didn't .
Now if those sharia countries properly can not reflect Quran it is not Quran's fault .
Now in case of terrorism . May be you don't know terrorism is nothing in front of homicide. In 2014 there was 437,000 Murder but death by terrorism was 32,865 . Which means terrorism is 13 times lower than homicide . If you search for top 25 countries with most murder may be 2-3 Muslim countries . In this 15 years from 2001 61000 terrorist attacks took life of 140,000 people but if we count the number of murders in America Honduras Venezuela Russia=59,000 each year . In Saudi every year 416 people are murdered but alone in America it is 15,000 small countries like venezuela and Honduras has combained 28,000 deaths .
Now you can say Muslims kill people on the name of religion . What is the difference between murder and religious death will any of those murdered or death by religion come back to life . You guys want a discrimination less world but start discrimination after death he was killed in the name of this , He was killed in the name of that .If your brother was murdered would you request the judge to reduce the punishment of culprit???
Vote Pro
Thank you.
You cannot prove Islam is the greatest, you cannot prove that using the Koran, you cannot prove that using x,y, or z. You cannot prove Christianity is the greatest, you cannot prove it using the Bible. Get it? Religion is deeply personal and if its the greatest and works for you! then fine! You are very dense and ignorant, saying that the followers of 4197 Religions need to be more educated because they're illogical. What kind of B.S is that?
The only way a Religion can be proven greater than all others is if they kill or convert over 7 billion people and become the worlds ONLY religion.
This shouldn't be about any other religion but Islam, but you decided to cut and paste some argument using the mine is better, because the other ones are stupid, and illogical. Then quote the Koran, the prove something that to anyone who isn't Muslim means literally nothing.
I do not care what the Koran says.
I never said Muslims kill people in the name of Religion, I said Muslim TERRORISTS kill people in the name of Islam. What shocked me was that you did not disavow TERRORISM, if people were taking my sacred religion and using the teachings of that religion to kill hundreds of thousands of people each year I would be distancing myself so far from them you would have no reason to think we followed the same religion, instead you said well, death happens anyways. Really?
I have no issue with Islam, or any religion in general, if you leave me alone I leave you alone, you wondered why so many people hate Islam, its because of the same b.s in your last paragraph, y'all act as if terrorism is 100% okay. That needs to change before Muslims can consider Islam anywhere close to a great religion.

>Reported vote: Muslimdebater// Mod action: Removed<
6 points to Pro (Conduct, Arguments, Sources), 1 point to Con (S&G). Reasons for voting decision: Pro uses better sources to make up his argument whereas con just reffuted pro's argument and doesn't provide any real proof for the voters to believe in his stand.
[*Reason for removal*] (1) The voter doesn't explain conduct or S&G. (2) Sources are insufficiently explained. The voter has to establish that Pro's sources are reliable and not just that they're "better" without explanation. (3) Arguments are insufficiently explained. The voter is required to specifically assess arguments made by both debaters to determine the outcome.

You have a dangerous ignorance about Islam and trying to prove it is the greatest, is just stupid. If you think its great, fine by me. Something you need to do it read the whole response and not just a part of it, and not then go and cut and paste from pro Muslim talking points why Islam is better than everything else. Logic when it comes to religion is 100% subjective to ones own belief. I do not believe you have the ability to understand any challenges to Islam. You have your memorized responses and when called out you look like Marco Rubio debating Chris Christie, you look foolish because you repeating things that are meaningless to the conversation.

The entitlement of journalists to protect their sources has been one
of the fundamental rights of the UK media for many years, and a
much-prized one at that. You might assume that this same right is
available to journalists throughout Europe, particularly in Belgium.
country lies at the heart of the European community, which upholds the
Article 10 right to freedom of expression enshrined in the European
Convention on Human Rights. But you would be wrong.
In February
2002, Belgian journalist Hans-Martin Tillack wrote an article for
German news magazine Stern, which included details of a 46-page
confidential memorandum by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF). Like
many journalists beforAe him, Tillack refused to identify the source
from which he had obtained the memo. OLAF subsequently announced in a
press release that it was investigating a claim that Tillack had bribed
an EU official to obtain the report.
Tillack vehemently denied (and still denies) this and asked OLAF to withdraw the allegation.
this, OLAF turned the matter over to the German and Belgian police. The
German authorities took the view that there was insufficient evidence
to take action, but the Belgian police decided to investigate whether
there had been a breach of professional secrecy. With no prior warning,
they arrived at Tillack's home, handed him a search warrant and
searched his home and office, seizing computer hard drives, telephones,
bank records and many other papers. At that time, there was no law in
Belgium that allowed journalists to protect their sources.
European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) is campaigning to have the
charges against Tillack dropped. The journalist has also taken his case
to the European Court in a bid to annul the decision of OLAF to refer
complaints to the German and Belgian authorities.
Tillack argues
that this infringed the fundamental right of journalists to protect
their sources, and that it constituted a mal-administration that
damaged his personal and professional reputation. The case is ongoing.
is supported not only by the EFJ but also by the International
Federation of Journalists (IFJ), which has lodged a formal statement
with the European Court in support of his case.
The ability of
journalists to protect their sources is one of the core principles upon
which press freedom is founded. As Aidan White, General Secretary of
both the EFJ and the IFJ, has stated: "This case is vital because it
concerns support for journalists everywhere in their fight for legal
cover when they put the authorities – even the most powerful in Europe
– under proper professional scrutiny."
There have been several
proposals for legislation in Belgium over the years, but none was
adopted. However, the case of Hans-Martin Tillack seems to have brought
matters to a head. In 2004, a new proposal for a law on the protection
of journalistic sources was put forward and, after some modification,
was formally adopted by the Belgian Parliament on 17 March.
it has yet to come into force, this legislation will grant journalists
the right to protect their sources and prevent them being compelled to
disclose any information, data or documents that would lead to the
identification of their sources. This includes the origin of the
information or the content of the data or documents, if that might lead
to the source being identified. The legislation will also allow
journalists the right to remain silent if called as a witness, and
expressly states that they will be protected against searches, seizures
and phone tapping. In addition, it will prevent them being sued for
illegal retention of stolen documents or for complicity in violation of
professional secrecy by a third party.
The only circumstances in
which journalists will be forced to identify their sources will be if
the requested information is of crucial importance in assisting in the
prevention of crimes that constitute a serious threat to the physical
integrity of any person, and only if there is no other way to obtain
the information.
This will give Belgian journalists far greater
statutory protection than is currently available to the UK media. Here,
section 10 of the Contempt of Court Act 1981 allows the courts to order
journalists to disclose their sources if they are satisfied that
"disclosure is necessary in the interests of justice or national
security, or for the prevention of disorder or crime".
The new
Belgian law has, unsurprisingly, been widely welcomed by journalists
both in Belgium and internationally, and has been hailed as "a
landmark victory" for press freedom,by the EFJ.
Although it comes
too late to assist Tillack in his fight it should, when it comes into
force, do much to prevent other Belgian journalists meeting the same

The first day of the school year is always really busy and exciting. Today was no exception! In fact, I would say that it was even more exciting as we also opened our two brand new secondary schools! I have never experienced something like this in my career so far, and no doubt will again. It's been a crazy three years of designs, building and logistics, but wow was it worth it just to see the faces of staff and students as they walked in to their new schools.
Of course every school had their share of new students – there was definitely a great "buzz" happening at each of our 26 schools from Sooke to the West Shore. Tomorrow is our first full day of school across the district and I know it will ride today's wave of smiles and excitement!

In some cultures student grade disputes are rare, in some they are nonexistent and in some they are frequent. The educator is not able to control the social norms and cultural expectations of an entire locale. Other than an educator selecting where they will teach, they must accept the schema that is operational in that culture in regards to educators and disputing their renderings (e.g., grades). If an educator selects to teach in a locale where student grade disputes occur, they must accept that there is nothing that they will be able to do to prevent them. They are part of the cultural expectation.
There are steps that the educator may take to be optimally prepared for them and to remove all anxiety or concern on their part.
1) You were a student. What were your worst memories of poor grading and feedback? Use those as models of what NOT to do.
2) Grading is sharing and showing your work. For example, I provide multiple modes of grading and feedback (voice notes, text detailed feedback regarding each aspect of the rubric elements and written embedded comments in substantive papers).
3) Consistently demonstrate and illustrate to your students your joy and passion for your work.
NOTE: If you are teaching in an institution that has [...]

Feb. 18: The tenant burst into the apartment with a complaint. At the same moment, the manager answered the phone. The tenant started ripping the office apart.
The call came in as unknown trouble. Dispatchers could hear a woman crying in the background of the call, saying, "You're done."
Officers drove to the 1000 block of South Mildred Street. They found the manager, sitting in the mess of the office and crying. She was 26.
She said she'd been sitting at the desk when the tenant, a 40-year-old woman, came in to complain. It was a habit with her, the manager said. From there, the story ran wild.
The manager said the phone rang at that moment, so she answered it and asked the tenant to wait for a minute. The tenant stalked out and slammed the door. She came back a minute later and slammed the door again. The manager said that was no way to have a conversation and that they could talk later.
The tenant started yelling. She grabbed the manager's wallet and tried to walk out with it. The manager tried to stop her. The tenant pulled her hair. The manager tried to call 911. The tenant grabbed the phone and threw it against the wall. She grabbed the manager's keys and stuffed them into her pants. A struggle followed; the manager got her keys back.
The tenant picked up a wicker chair and threw it. She pulled a frame down from the office wall and threw it. She knocked file folders and paperwork off the desk. She picked up the computer monitor on the desk and threw it on the floor. She clawed at the window blinds and left the office.
Officers scanned the office. They saw the ruined blinds, the damaged monitor, the scatter of papers and the tipped-over chair. The manager said she thought the tenant had returned to her apartment.
Officers walked to the apartment and found Tacoma firefighters, who said the tenant had called them. They opened the door. The tenant answered. She said the manager assaulted her.
Her story was a little different. She said the manager had been on the phone and yelled at her, attacked her and threw her down. She said she'd snatched at the manager's wallet and keys to stop the attack. She said she was injured and needed medical treatment.
Officers spoke to a witness — another tenant. The man said he'd seen the fight and that the tenant was the aggressor. He said he saw the tenant throw the chair and the computer monitor.
Officers made the judgment call and cited the tenant for misdemeanor assault and destruction of property. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Feb. 17: The son was mad enough to burn his mother's house down — or so he said.
Officers drove to the 2400 block of South 10th Street. They were serving a restraining order against the son, filed by his mother. She was 59. She said she was too afraid to go with them. She said her son was probably in the basement, and that he had a 12-gauge shotgun.
Officers knocked on the door of the house. The son answered. He was 23. Officers told him they were serving him with the restraining order.
The son, suddenly agitated, grabbed the paper.
"I'll take care of her," he said.
One officer asked what he meant.
"I mean I'll take care of it," the son said.
He started to rant, the report states. He said he told his mother if she called police he would burn the house down. She was unworthy of it. His father built it. She slept with another man and destroyed the family. She didn't deserve the house.
He would burn it down, he said. He would go to prison. It was the right thing to do.
Officers cuffed him and confiscated the shotgun.
"I'm gonna burn it down now," the son said. "I'm not scared to go to jail."
Officers booked the man into the Fife City Jail on suspicion of making verbal threats.
Feb. 16: The stolen item was a bicycle with flat tires and a missing handlebar. The owner was a 27-year-old man who lived with his parents.
He called police, who drove to an address in the 1500 block of South Fife Street. The man said he was having problems with an acquaintance, a 34-year-old woman who bothered him all the time.
He had a note from her. He showed it to officers.
"If u want the Bike and the Trailer then give me money or weed," the note said.
The officer asked about the trailer. The man said it was meant to carry a child behind a bike, but he used it to carry scrap metal, his main source of income.
The man gave the officers an address and said the woman would be there. Officers drove to the 2300 block of South 12th Street. The woman, 34, lived there with her father.
They asked her about the bike and the trailer. She said she didn't know what they were talking about. They showed her the note.
"Oh, yeah," she said, and led them to a backyard shed.
Officers looked at the stolen bike.
"To call the bike a bike would be generous," the report states. Both tires were flat. One handlebar was missing. The trailer had a bent frame and two flat tires.
Officers told the woman she was under arrest. She admitted to taking the bike. She said she was an active meth user, and that was why she took it.
Officers booked her into the Fife City Jail on suspicion of third-degree theft.

Halifax in 2014 saw the Right Some Good food festival cross the causeway and come to town, the Gold Medal Plates competition crown a queen, the return of prodigal son chef Ray Bear, and a flood of craft beer.
Local beers and wines are now offered at virtually every decent restaurant and local sourcing has ceased to be a novelty. There were sad departures (you'll be missed, Front and Central) and welcome openings (cheers, Lion and Bright).
And, while the feedback department always welcomes (signed) communication, a reminder that the ninth annual Stick a Fork In It Awards are about restaurants we reviewed this year.
Restaurant of the Year (HRM)
1. Brooklyn Warehouse
The power combo of owners Leo and George Christakos and chef Mark Gray continue to make this west-end restaurant well worthy of the Prestige Award it received from Taste of Nova Scotia this year.
SEE MORE on Brooklyn Warehouse here
Among the godfathers of Halifax's gourmet burger movement, they take local so seriously they have a garden in the backyard.
Gray, the city's star chef of the future, is just as able with sauces as he is with a freakishly large pork chop or big piece of halibut, as he turns out a constantly changing menu that stays inventive while staying away from weird.
2. Fiasco
Chef Morne Van Antwerp began the process of bringing Fiasco back to its former glory with his beautiful and delicious food. On the night we visited, two appetizers, two entrees and a shared dessert all earned grades of A-plus.
Restaurant of the Year (outside the city)
1. Privet House
Four times this year I was in Wolfville for lunch, four times I chose Jamie Smye's Privet House and four times I made the right call. From the clean taste of food like the chicken pakora to the sea salt sprinkled on the butter with the bread basket, no detail is overlooked.
2. Rime
Chef Jeffrey MacNeil is the same age as Mark Gray, and is another up and comer, serving winners in his Lunenburg restaurant like buttermilk fried Cornish hen and the best risotto I can remember.
Entree of the Year
Skillet-roasted halibut with chive potato puree, braised leeks and kale at Panorma in Inverness was amazing.
Honourable mention: lamb tenderloin at Efendy, buttermilk brined pork chop at Brooklyn Warehouse, rack of lamb at Onyx.
Appetizer of the Year
1. Mangalia ham at Rime, imported from Spain, served with roasted cherry tomatoes and house-made baguette.
2. The samosas at Saloni Tapas Grill in Truro, filled with chickpeas, lentils and potato, and served with a thin chutney flavoured with mint and dates.
Server of the Year
Guillaume at Rime is professional, enthusiastic and definitely in the right job.
We also had exemplary service from Jessica at Fiasco, Rayanne at Brooklyn Warehouse and "Cupcake" at Gahan House.
Best Atmosphere/Vibe/Decor
Also known as "the place that makes me feel happiest when I walk in the door" category. If the Flying Apron in Summerville, Hants County, doesn't cheer you up, you need to change your meds. Also impressive looking rooms are Troy in Wolfville and, in the city, Fiasco, Lion and Bright and the Agricola Street Brasserie.
Best Fish and Chips
Robie Street Station's version is made with basa, or Vietnamese catfish, and I loved its delicate taste. Ask for extra crisp fries.
Best Sandwich
Whatever is on the menu at the Canteen in Dartmouth. Renee Lavallee is hitting it out of the park.
Best Dessert
Every year, this is the toughest category to award and the most fun to research, but the best dessert we had was one called, simply, Chocolate, at Fiasco, which consists of sponge cake made with black cocoa, topped with layers of white chocolate mousse and milk chocolate mousse.
Honourable mention: Nutella gelato at Scanway, chocolate pie at Rudders in Yarmouth, the rum cake at Governor's Pub in Sydney and mini doughnuts at Agricola Street Brasserie.
Best Pizza (tie)
Smoke Hut at Piez, topped with roasted chicken, caramelized onions, smoked bacon, fontina, mozzarella and smoked apple wood cheddar, and the pulled pork pizza at Gahan House.
Best french fries
What makes fries great? Clean, hot oil, hand cut potatoes and attention. Stillwell Bar, Jo Dearing BBQ in River John and Peasant's Pantry in New Ross are all doing it right.
Best Barbecue Dish
Beef brisket, Jo Dearing. The country service and Johnny Cash music makes it even more tasty.
Best Steak
The Mic Mac serves a rib steak that is marinated and seasoned to perfection, while Fiasco relies on careful sourcing, getting ribeye from Getaway Farm.
Best Beverage List
Troy in Wolfville, Rime, Fiasco and Panorama all get it.
Best Milkshake
Kraveburger — one word: Nutella.
Best use of donair meat
Next summer, get yourself out to Lawrencetown beach and have a donair taco.
